Election Day


This is a picture of the entrance to the polls in King of Prussia. The place is Belmont 3, Upper Merion Township. Good Shepperd Lutheran Church.



It's a beautiful sunny day, about 65 degrees here in King of Prussia and after weeks of intense campaigning by both democratic candidates, people get a chance to cast their vote. There has been a jump in voter registration throughout the state. Over 30,000 newly registered voters in Montgomery County alone.



Here in King of Prussia, Jim Ruddy, the Judge of election says there has not been any technical problems with their two voting machines. Although he admits roughly about 8 people registered as independents have been turned away. The Pennsylvania primaries are closed primaries and voters can only vote if they are affiliated to a party. So far about 384 people have cast their vote. Jim says he expects at least 75 more voters before the polls close at 8pm.



"The flow has been steady" says Erika Spott, Upper Merion Township Supervisor, referring to people stopping in to cast their vote.
